Summary

I have a vast knowledge of SP Electricity North West network having worked for the company for 12 years in a variety of roles. The years I worked as a Overhead Linesperson will benefit me greatly for the design technician role as I am fully aware of issues that arise on a daily basis within the network, and on a customer base. I have a good skill set for solving and developing any tasks presented to me. I am currently fulfilling a design technicians role in a secondment position which I am applying myself to and learning everyday.
